Aquí se describe la dinámica del conflicto ocurrido de 1997 a 2003 entre un grupo de mineros, como opositores, y de instituciones del gobierno  mexicano, como promotores, derivado de la propuesta de decreto del área natural protegida denominada Reserva de la Biosfera Mavavi, que cubría 780 114 ha, en una zona de relevancia hidrológica para los estados de Sonora, en México, y de Arizona, en Estados Unidos. El proceso parecía exitoso, pero se complicó debido a los elementos empleados por los opositores, quienes lograron la no política de conservación. En el artículo se analizan las dinámicas, los actores y las estrategias seguidas por cada una de las partes, que derivaron en la cancelación del decreto, ya que los mineros no tuvieron contrapeso en los promotores, como resultado de elementos de política nacional y local, ausencia del involucramiento público y falta de coordinación de las agencias gubernamentales que promovían la propuesta. Palabras clave: conflicto; áreas protegidas; minería; política; decreto. AbstractThe document describes the dynamics of a conflict occurred from 1997 to 2003 between a group of miners, as opponents, and institutions of the Mexican government, as promoters, resulting from a proposal for a decree concerning the protected natural area called “Mavavi Biosphere Reserve”, which covered an area of 780.114 ha, in a zone of hydrological significance for the states of Sonora, Mexico and Arizona, usa. The decree process seemed successful, but was complicated by the elements used by opponents who managed the non-conservation policy. The paper answers the question of which were the dynamics, the actors and the strategies followed by each of the groups that derived in the cancellation of the decree. We conclude that the decree process failed due to the opposition from a group of miners, who did not had a counterweight in the promoter group as a result of elements of national and local politics, lack of public involvement and lack of coordination of government agencies that promoted the proposal. Key words: conflict; protected areas; mining; policy; decree.

The paper examines the features of the international status of "UNESCO Global Geopark" that are important for the development of Russian legislation regulating Geoparks. The criteria for the status of a “UNESCO Global Geopark” that affect the national legal regime of the Geopark include the criterion for the presence of geological objects with a protected status on its territory. The author has analyzed the references to national legislation contained in the criteria for UNESCO Global Geoparks. The paper highlights the differences between the UNESCO Global Geopark, the World Heritage Site and the Biosphere Reserve, analyzes the cases of overlaps between the Geopark concept and the concept of a World Heritage site or a biosphere reserve. Also, the author shows that the term Geopark is extremely rarely used in federal legislation (single strategic planning documents) in the context of the need arising in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation to regulate the processes of creation and functioning of Geoparks. The author has proven the connection between the Russian legislation on Geoparks, regardless of the further fate of its development, with the legislation on specially protected natural areas.The author determines four possible types of organization and functioning of geoparks in Russia: 1) a geopark as a tourist and recreational zone; 2) a geopark without a legal regime for a tourist and recreational zone and without a legal regime for a specially protected natural area; 3) a geopark with a legal regime of a specially protected natural area in the form of a state paleontological, mineralogical or geological reserve; 4) a geopark as an independent category of a specially protected natural area approved by regional regulatory legal acts. The author specifically describes the legal regime of each type of the Geopark. The author makes suggestions and recommendations for the development of federal and regional legislation on Geoparks in Russia.

AbstractThe sustainable urban redevelopment project to protect biodiversity was developed to regenerate the external spaces of an ancient rural farmhouse, Villa Framarino, in the regional Natural Park of Lama Balice, a shallow erosive furrow (lama) rich in biodiversity, between two suburbs of the city of Bari (Apulia, Italy) and close to the city airport. This work includes a complex system of activities aimed not only at a spatial revaluation, necessary to relaunch the urban image, but it is accompanied by interventions of a cultural, social, economic, environmental and landscape nature, aimed at increasing the quality of life, in compliance with the principles of sustainability and social participation. One of the means to revitalize a territory subject to redevelopment is the planning of events and activities of socio-cultural value that involve the population to revive the sense of belonging to the territory and the community and at the same time to protect the biodiversity of the urban park of the protected natural area.

High Level

Environmental conflict appears to be increasing exponentially. Natural resource management disputes over preservation or “wise use” rage in forests, river systems, rangelands, and mineral lands. Locating hazardous waste sites is so contentious that there is only one site in the country that accepts the high-level waste produced everywhere else in the United State. Existing waste sites are closing their gates to all but local waste. Low income and minority communities are documenting the disproportionate burden of toxic contamination in their neighborhoods and are fighting back in the environmental justice movement. NIMBY (Not In My ***BackYard) responses to LULUs (Locally Unwanted Land Uses) appear to have paralyzed both government agencies and neighborhoods as they attempt to clean up past contamination, control present pollution, and manage future responses to development. Conflicts and disputes between affected parties—stakeholders in the common parlance—are regularly in the news as local, state, and federal government agencies attempt to gain public acceptability of programs through public involvement in decision making.

The use of fire for traditional agriculture, animal husbandry and forestry is highly important to farmers in developing countries where this practice is continuously blamed as being the main cause of forest fires. That is the case in the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve (MBBR), Mexico, where paradoxically, little is known about the inhabitants’ traditional uses of fire. In this study we characterise fire users, describe traditional fire uses and identify the ecological and social rules involved in the use of fire in the MBBR. Through participant observation and semi-structured interviews we found a robust body of knowledge among local people regarding the geophysical and ecological factors determining fire behaviour. This information is transferred orally and through everyday practices from parents to children. We identified nine types of fire uses. The most common is ‘mound burns’, which entails a process of extraction-piling-drying-burning of weeds from agricultural fields. Social rules are aimed at decreasing the risk of forest fires. Our results suggest there is a traditional fire knowledge system in the MBBR that has undergone changes and has adapted to the ecological and social reality of the region during the past few decades.
